re: Greg Oden to host 2 or 3 teams depending on who you ask.

Well yeah I guess since they are the odds on favorite to win it again.

I'm not usually an advocate of chasing money, but in his case I definitely would. I'd take the contract with the most guarantees. If what he gets offered are pretty much the same, then of course I'd go with Miami.

His agent had been talking about the Heat since last year, but that could be his agent drumming up support. I think us and the Spurs would be an ideal fit for him, but it wouldn't surprise me if he chooses the Heat.

signing with Miami would be chasing a ring imo

I really hate statements like this. It's not that it is false, but it seems like wanting to be on a championship caliber team is looked down upon these days. I would assume that chasing big contracts or something along those lines would be looked down up more, but I am apparently wrong.

I'm sure the other teams' offers are still on the table, but if you can't find someone to send to Indy in July to watch him workout, then you can't be THAT interested. At least that's how it comes off to me.

Normally I wouldn't give the Pelicans much of a chance against the Heat or Spurs but if you're Oden there's a strong probability this might be the last contract you sign given your history of injuries. If the Pelicans can offer a few million more that might be a deciding factor.
